When Is Full Refurbishment the Right Choice?
Full refurbishment is the right choice when individual repairs are becoming frequent and costly - it is almost always more economical than continued piecemeal maintenance and costs 40-60% less than complete system replacement. Key indicators include widespread sealant failure across multiple joints, corroded glazing bar cappings, multiple failed glass units, persistent leaks that recur after repair, and visible deterioration of the structural framework.
A full refurbishment addresses every component of the glazing system simultaneously, eliminating the cycle of reactive repairs and delivering a comprehensive, guaranteed solution. It also provides the opportunity to upgrade glass specifications, improve thermal performance and bring the system into compliance with current Building Regulations - all of which add significant value to the building.
